1Awake, awake, clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your garments of splendor, O Jerusalem, holy city! For the uncircumcised and unclean will no longer enter you.1Wake up! Wake up! Clothe yourself with strength, O Zion! Put on your beautiful clothes, O Jerusalem, holy city! For uncircumcised and unclean pagans will no longer invade you.
2Shake off your dust! Rise up and sit on your throne, O Jerusalem. Remove the chains from your neck, O captive Daughter of Zion.2Shake off the dirt! Get up, captive Jerusalem! Take off the iron chains around your neck, O captive daughter Zion!
3For this is what the LORD says: “You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed.”3For this is what the LORD says: "You were sold for nothing, and you will not be redeemed for money."
4For this is what the Lord GOD says: “At first My people went down to Egypt to live, then Assyria oppressed them without cause.4For this is what the sovereign LORD says: "In the beginning my people went to live temporarily in Egypt; Assyria oppressed them for no good reason.
5And now what have I here? declares the LORD. For My people have been taken without cause; those who rule them taunt, declares the LORD, and My name is blasphemed continually all day long.5And now, what do we have here?" says the LORD. "Indeed my people have been carried away for nothing, those who rule over them taunt," says the LORD, "and my name is constantly slandered all day long.
6Therefore My people will know My name; therefore they will know on that day that I am He who speaks. Here I am!”6For this reason my people will know my name, for this reason they will know at that time that I am the one who says, 'Here I am.'"
7How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”7How delightful it is to see approaching over the mountains the feet of a messenger who announces peace, a messenger who brings good news, who announces deliverance, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
8Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, together they shout for joy. For every eye will see when the LORD returns to Zion.8Listen, your watchmen shout; in unison they shout for joy, for they see with their very own eyes the LORD's return to Zion.
9Break forth in joy, sing together, O ruins of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.9In unison give a joyful shout, O ruins of Jerusalem! For the LORD consoles his people; he protects Jerusalem.
10The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations; all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.10The LORD reveals his royal power in the sight of all the nations; the entire earth sees our God deliver.
11Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing; come out from it, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.11Leave! Leave! Get out of there! Don't touch anything unclean! Get out of it! Stay pure, you who carry the LORD's holy items!
12For you will not leave in a hurry nor flee in haste, for the LORD goes before you, and the God of Israel is your rear guard.12Yet do not depart quickly or leave in a panic. For the LORD goes before you; the God of Israel is your rear guard.
13Behold, My Servant will prosper; He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.13"Look, my servant will succeed! He will be elevated, lifted high, and greatly exalted--
14Just as many were appalled at Him—His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man, and His form was marred beyond human likeness—14(just as many were horrified by the sight of you) he was so disfigured he no longer looked like a man;
15so He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of Him. For they will see what they have not been told, and they will understand what they have not heard.15his form was so marred he no longer looked human--so now he will startle many nations. Kings will be shocked by his exaltation, for they will witness something unannounced to them, and they will understand something they had not heard about.
